Their support is professional and very fast in helping.




Before we start with the top apps, remember that these are only for jailbroken iPhones because Apple does not allow these apps to be downloaded from the official app store. All of these apps can be found in the Cydia application that shows up after you jailbreak your iPhone. If you would like to know how to jailbreak your iPhone then refer to other guides, or you may wait till I publish one in the near future. I will also teach you how to carrier unlock it so that it may be used with other carriers than AT&T in the US. Now, without further ado, here are the 5 essential apps for a jailbroken iPhone.

1. Winterboard

To customize your iPhone and make it truly yours, then this is the app you would need. Apple does not allow users to tweak their OS and their layout of the icons/color schemes. However, this app has a different theme for all personalities and tastes. It can make your iPhone look like Windows 7, or like the HTC Arya, and much much more. If you don't like the simple interface of the iPhone, then this is the first app you need to download.

2. iRealSMS/SwirlyMMS 2

I put these apps together because they both fall in the text message group and it would be wrong to have one without the other. iRealSMS does something truly extraordinary with the iPhone texts. With this app, you can easily reply to your text messages when it pops up while you are in another app, instead of the iPhone closing your current app and opening the messages app. As well as the quick reply, you can also quick compose a text if you are in another app or a game without opening the messages app again. Now, on to SwirlyMMS 2. With this app, you will be able to use your MMS capabilities with a carrier unlock. Normally, the iPhone does not allow T-Mobile users to use their MMS plans which is a real waste of money. With this app, you can easily send and receive MMS because it is integrated into your messages app.

3. 3G Unrestrictor

Apps like Skype do not allow you to use them over 3G or Edge or GPRS, but only WiFi. For the time being, Skype is allowing its users to use the app with 3G. However this is only until August, and after that you would have to pay Skype to use it over 3G or Edge. However, with this app, you just add what app you want to unrestrict and that's it. Simple as that. A must have for traveling users who aren't close to WiFi hotspots.

4. Make It Mine

Now, this app is one of those just for fun apps. All this app does is change the carrier name to whatever you want it to say. For example, I changed my carrier name to my name so it is now personalized. Also, you are able to change your banner to say whatever you want it to say. This is to be used side-by-side with winterboard to make your iPhone yours.

5. Installous

Lastly, this app should be used for good and not for illegal things. This app should be used to download apps that were not accepted into the app store or where outdated. These 3rd party apps are great ideas that you should download to get more variety than the app store.

Well there you go, these are the 5 essential apps for jailbroken iPhones. Download these great apps and you should get the most usability out of your iPhone that Apple would not let you when it came in the box. Stay tuned for my guide on how to jailbreak and unlock your iPhone.

TELUS starts unlocking wireless devices on February 15



TELUS customers enjoy more more flexibility and freedom



Toronto, ON – TELUS today announced that starting February 15, "unlocking" will be available for most SIM-based devices (IDEN and HSPA) for TELUS postpaid customers. This new service is the latest in a series of initiatives to enhance the customer experience at TELUS by providing more flexibility and freedom in the way customers use their wireless devices.



"Wireless devices are far more sophisticated and powerful than they were even five years ago and our customers are asking us now to give them the freedom and flexibility to use these devices as they wish. We are listening and responding to their needs, through services like device unlocking," said David Fuller, Chief Marketing Officer at TELUS. "It's all part of our commitment to continue to drive flexibility, simplicity and transparency within our offerings. Over the last few years, we've eliminated system access and carrier 911 fees, designed simpler family plans, created proactive alerts that notify customers going over their data allotments, and created options for our customers to upgrade to a new device faster. Helping our customers to unlock their device is just one more step in this overall service evolution."



Customers subscribing to a monthly plan (postpaid) and using an active and eligible SIM-based device for a minimum of 90 days will be eligible to have their device unlocked for a fee of $50.



TELUS is commited to offering the best overall customer experience in the industry. As a part of our quality mandate, TELUS works closely with leading manufacturers to ensure that their devices are built and tested for optimal performance on TELUS' network. During that process, TELUS locks the devices in order to maintain TELUS-specific configuration settings such that customers are getting the best possible experience when using applications and services on TELUS' network.

Starting from iOS 4.0, Apple completely cut off the support for aging original iPhone EDGE and iPod touch first-generation. Their decision of course was justified because of the low RAM found in these first-gen devices which were released back in 2007.

While iOS 4.2.1 is still available for iPhone 3G and iPod touch 2G, they are barely capable of running it, and that too without the goodness of multitasking, wallpapers and Folders.

But all is not lost as the iPhone jailbreak community has now come up with a mod, which brings the complete look and feel of iOS 4.2.1 for iPhone 2G, 3G and iPod touch 1G and 2G. The mod is basically based on the iPhone OS 3.1.3, to replicate the experience of iOS 4 on the first and second generation iPhone and iPod touch.

This custom firmware, dubbed WhiteD00r, includes everything from: wallpapers, new semi transparent dock (and UI), backgrounds, all new icons from iOS 4.x, Voice Control, multitasking, video recording, and more. Full list of features can be found here.

Here is a video of it in action:

WhiteD00r custom 4.2.1 firmware for iPhone 2G, 3G, iPod touch 1G and 2G can be downloaded from here.

Unlock iPhone 3Gs

Traveling abroad with your cell phone can be simple and fun or it can be a nightmare. The worst part of this nightmare is the ending that leaves you with a ridiculous bill consisting of numerous fees that will surprise you to say the least. In order to avoid these unnecessary charges there are a few things that you will want to know.

You need to know the difference between CDMA and GSM. You will want to determine which of these types of phones you are currently using. You also will want to understand "unlocking" and how it affects your ability to use your phone outside of the US. One more important part of traveling outside of the country is learning how to obtain and use prepaid SIM cards.

GSM cell phones use SIM cards. AT&T and T-Mobile are two of the major GSM carriers on the west coast. There are others but all you need to determine is whether your phone has a SIM card or not, and whether it is quad band. Different areas of the world use different "bands" i.e. frequencies so while you might be ok in some areas with a dual or tri band phone, quad band assures that you can travel to just about anywhere and have a phone that is compatible with the local network.

If your phone meets both of these criteria, you simply need to find someone who can unlock it for you. GSM phones come from the manufacturer "locked" into the service provider who sells them. Unlocking your phone allows you not only usage outside of the country, but you can also switch to another GSM carrier at home if you so choose. Finding an unlock service can be as simple as checking craigslist or asking a sales rep at one of your local GSM stores. While they do not perform this service for you, someone in the store should be able to direct you to the right place. Lastly, once you have reached your travel destination you will want to purchase a prepaid SIM card that allows you minutes on that particular network. These are available in frequently visited locations, airports, gift stores, etc. Ask your travel agent before you leave if you are able to.

Now let's take a look at the CDMA companies. These include Verizon, Sprint, and many smaller localized services such as Metro PCS and Cricket Mobile. Here is the bad news. If you choose to deal with one of these companies when you travel your options are both limited and expensive. The main problem being that the rest of the world does not use CDMA technology so your Verizon or Sprint phone simply will not work in most foreign markets. It's a bit like the metric system versus standard measurements. Verizon will happily rent you a "World" phone for about $250 that works in most countries. A friend of mine traveled to Europe recently and spent $2.49 per minute plus long distance fees. She ended up with a bill in the neighborhood of $500!

The good news is that you do have other options. For one, if you are in a position to upgrade your contract and get a new phone, there are a couple of CDMA phones available currently which allow you to use GSM also once your phone has been unlocked. These are both Blackberry devices, the Storm and the Tour respectively.

If on the other hand you are not in a position to renew your contract or do not care to, it is easy enough to find a used or refurbished GSM phone that you can purchase for a lot less than $250. I have seen used quad band phones for $30 and up. These are nothing fancy but they will work. Once you have obtained a quad band GSM phone you will need to unlock it. See paragraph four for details and about purchasing a prepaid GSM card.

In summary:

Obtain a quad band GSM phone.
Unlock this phone for international use.
Purchase a prepaid SIM card at your destination.
Pop in your new SIM and start calling.

Here is one last piece of advice. Don't leave your $800 3GS iphone in your hotel room. It will almost certainly vanish and there's not a whole lot that you can do about it.

Have a great trip!

Since the launch of the version 4 back in August, the new Digg has been getting minor over-hauls time and again. One of the main reasons of the frequent changes is to bring back the user experience to the Digg community. Even though, the team at Digg did many mistakes which resulted in losing user-base, I still credit them a lot for the amount of efforts they are putting in to bring the community back.

They have been adding features ranging from upcoming to bury button, everything has been added as per the user request. They have also been tweaking up the design since then. When I logged onto Digg today, I found an invitation to view the new design. Clicking on that, I realized, the new design is even simpler.

Two of the things I loved about Digg v4 when it launched were the simplicity of design and speed of the site, but that at the cost of cutting almost all the features. Digg v4, however, after 6 months, looks very promising. It has all the features that diggers need, a better design than v3, faster to browse, lesser errors and an over-all better user-experience. The new design is only rolled out yet to 15 percent Digg users and will be soon rolled out to everyone else.

Digg team on the official Digg blog said

This new design includes a new way to browse between the different sections of the site and an easier way to filter your content. We’ve simplified the design to make stories more prominent and easier to read. The newly organized profile page makes it a snap to see all your statistics. And last but not least, a new submission flow makes submitting stories easier. We couldn’t wait any longer to share these with our users and gather feedback before a public rollout, but there’s still a lot of work to be done.

Even though the design has been built on the user feedback, Digg still allows you to switch between the designs. Apart from the re-design, Digg has finally been able to import all the user-stats from v3, which took much longer than expected.
